BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Antibodies are natural proteins that the vertebrate immune system forms in response to foreign substances (antigens), primarily for defense against infection. For over a century, antibodies have been induced in animals under artificial conditions and harvested for use in therapy or diagnosis of disease conditions, or for biological research. Each individual antibody producing cell produces a single type of antibody with a chemically defined composition, however, antibodies obtained directly from animal serum in response to antigen inoculation actually comprise an ensemble of non-identical molecules (e.g., polyclonal antibodies) made from an ensemble of individual antibody producing cells.

Antibody fusion constructs can be used to improve the delivery of drugs or other agents to target cells, tissues and tumors. Antibody fusion constructs may comprise a chemical linker to attach a drug or other agent to antibody. Exemplary antibody fusion constructs and methods of producing antibody fusion constructs are disclosed in US patent application numbers 2006/0182751, 2007/0160617 and U.S. Pat. No. 7,736,652.

Disclosed herein are novel immunoglobulin fusion proteins and methods of producing such immunoglobulin fusion proteins. Further disclosed herein are uses of the immunoglobulin fusion proteins for the treatment of various diseases and conditions. Methods of extending the half-life of a therapeutic agent are also disclosed herein.

The one or more proteolytic cleavage sites may attached to the N-terminus, C-terminus or both N- and C-termini of a linker peptide. The one or more proteolytic cleavage sites may be attached to a therapeutic peptide, extender peptide, linker, extender fusion region, immunoglobulin region, non-immunoglobulin region or a combination thereof.

Digestion of the proteolytic cleavage site may result in release of the N- or C-terminus of the therapeutic agent from the immunoglobulin fusion protein. The proteolytic cleavage site may be on the N- and C-termini of the therapeutic agent. Digestion of the proteolytic cleavage site may result in release of the therapeutic agent from the immunoglobulin fusion protein.

Alternatively, or additionally, the proteolytic cleavage site is located within the amino acid sequence of the therapeutic agent, extender peptide, antibody region, or a combination thereof. The therapeutic agent may comprise one or more proteolytic cleavage sites within its amino acid sequence. For example, SEQ ID NO: 89 discloses a relaxin protein comprising two internal proteolytic cleavage sites. Digestion of the proteolytic cleavage sites within the relaxin protein may result in release of an internal fragment of the relaxin protein.

Two or more proteolytic cleavage sites may surround a therapeutic agent, extender peptide, linker, antibody region, or combination thereof. Digestion of the proteolytic cleavage site may result in release of a peptide fragment located between the two or more proteolytic cleavage sites. For example, the proteolytic cleavage sites may flank a therapeutic agent-linker peptide. Digestion of the proteolytic cleavage sites may result in release of the therapeutic agent-linker.

The proteolytic cleavage site may be recognized by one or more proteases. The one or more proteases may be a serine protease, threonine protease, cysteine protease, aspartate protease, glutamic protease, metalloprotease, exopeptidases, endopeptidases, or a combination thereof. The proteases may be selected from the group comprising Factor VII or Factor Xa. Additional examples of proteases include, but are not limited to, aminopeptidases, carboxypeptidases, trypsin, chymotrypsin, pepsin, papain, and elastase. The protease may be prohormone convertase 2 (PC2).

The one or more proteolytic cleavage sites may comprise an amino acid sequence selected from any one of SEQ ID NOs: 182-185.

The one or more proteolytic cleavage sites may comprise an amino acid sequence that is at least about 80% homologous to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 182-185.

Vectors, Host Cells and Recombinant Methods

Immunoglobulin fusion proteins, as disclosed herein, may be expressed by recombinant methods. Generally, a nucleic acid encoding an immunoglobulin fusion protein may be isolated and inserted into a replicable vector for further cloning (amplification of the DNA) or for expression. DNA encoding the immunoglobulin fusion protein may be prepared by PCR amplification and sequenced using conventional procedures (e.g., by using oligonucleotide probes that are capable of binding specifically to nucleotides encoding immunoglobulin fusion proteins). In an exemplary embodiment, nucleic acid encoding an immunoglobulin fusion protein is PCR amplified, restriction enzyme digested and gel purified. The digested nucleic acid may be inserted into a replicable vector. The replicable vector containing the digested immunoglobulin fusion protein insertion may be transformed or transduced into a host cell for further cloning (amplification of the DNA) or for expression. Host cells may be prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells.

Polynucleotide sequences encoding polypeptide components (e.g., antibody region, extender peptide, therapeutic agent) of the immunoglobulin fusion proteins may be obtained by PCR amplification. Polynucleotide sequences may be isolated and sequenced from cells containing nucleic acids encoding the polypeptide components. Alternatively, or additionally, polynucleotides may be synthesized using nucleotide synthesizer or PCR techniques. Once obtained, sequences encoding the polypeptide components may be inserted into a recombinant vector capable of replicating and expressing heterologous polynucleotides in prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic hosts.

In addition, phage vectors containing replicon and control sequences that are compatible with the host microorganism may be used as transforming vectors in connection with these hosts. For example, bacteriophage such as λGEM™-11 may be utilized in making a recombinant vector which may be used to transform susceptible host cells such as E. coli LE392.

Immunoglobulin fusion proteins may be expressed intracellularly (e.g., cytoplasm) or extracellularly (e.g., secretion). For extracellular expression, the vector may comprise a secretion signal which enables translocation of the immunoglobulin fusion proteins to the outside of the cell.

Suitable host cells for cloning or expression of immunoglobulin fusion proteins-encoding vectors include prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells. The host cell may be a eukaryotic. Examples of eukaryotic cells include, but are not limited to, Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK) cells, Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells, fungi, yeasts, invertebrate cells (e.g., plant cells and insect cells), lymphoid cells (e.g., YO, NSO, Sp20 cells). Other examples of suitable mammalian host cell lines are monkey kidney CV1 line transformed by SV40 (COS-7); baby hamster kidney cells (BHK); mouse sertoli cells; monkey kidney cells (CV1); African green monkey kidney cells (VERO-76); human cervical carcinoma cells (HELA); canine kidney cells (MDCK; buffalo rat liver cells (BRL 3A); human lung cells (W138); human liver cells (Hep G2); mouse mammary tumor (MMT 060562); TRI cells; MRC 5 cells; and FS4 cells. The host cell may be aprokaryotic cell (e.g., E. coli).

Host cells may be transformed with vectors containing nucleotides encoding an immunoglobulin fusion proteins. Transformed host cells may be cultured in media. The media may be supplemented with one or more agents for inducing promoters, selecting transformants, or amplifying or expressing the genes encoding the desired sequences. Methods for transforming host cells are known in the art and may include electroporation, calcium chloride, or polyethylene glycol/DMSO.

Alternatively, host cells may be transfected or transduced with vectors containing nucleotides encoding immunoglobulin fusion proteins. Transfected or transduced host cells may be cultured in media. The media may be supplemented with one or more agents for inducing promoters, selecting transfected or transduced cells, or expressing genes encoding the desired sequences.

Host cells may be transfected or transduced with vectors comprising nucleotides encoding one or more proteases. The protease comprising vectors may be co-transfected with vectors encoding any immunoglobulin fusion protein disclosed herein. Proteases include Factor Xa and PC2.

The expressed immunoglobulin fusion proteins may be secreted into and recovered from the periplasm of the host cells or transported into the culture media. Protein recovery from the periplasm may involve disrupting the host cell. Disruption of the host cell may comprise osmotic shock, sonication or lysis. Centrifugation or filtration may be used to remove cell debris or whole cells. The immunoglobulin fusion proteins may be further purified, for example, by affinity resin chromatography.

Alternatively, immunoglobulin fusion proteins that are secreted into the culture media may be isolated therein. Cells may be removed from the culture and the culture supernatant being filtered and concentrated for further purification of the proteins produced. The expressed polypeptides may be further isolated and identified using commonly known methods such as polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and Western blot assay.

Immunoglobulin fusion proteins production may be conducted in large quantity by a fermentation process. Various large-scale fed-batch fermentation procedures are available for production of recombinant proteins. Large-scale fermentations have at least 1000 liters of capacity, preferably about 1,000 to 100,000 liters of capacity. These fermentors use agitator impellers to distribute oxygen and nutrients, especially glucose (a preferred carbon/energy source). Small scale fermentation refers generally to fermentation in a fermentor that is no more than approximately 100 liters in volumetric capacity, and can range from about 1 liter to about 100 liters.

In a fermentation process, induction of protein expression is typically initiated after the cells have been grown under suitable conditions to a desired density, e.g., an OD550 of about 180-220, at which stage the cells are in the early stationary phase. A variety of inducers may be used, according to the vector construct employed, as is known in the art and described herein. Cells may be grown for shorter periods prior to induction. Cells are usually induced for about 12-50 hours, although longer or shorter induction time may be used.

To improve the production yield and quality of the immunoglobulin fusion proteins disclosed herein, various fermentation conditions may be modified. For example, to improve the proper assembly and folding of the secreted immunoglobulin fusion proteins polypeptides, additional vectors overexpressing chaperone proteins, such as Dsb proteins (DsbA, DsbB, DsbC, DsbD and or DsbG) or FkpA (a peptidylprolyl cis, trans-isomerase with chaperone activity) may be used to co-transform the host prokaryotic cells. The chaperone proteins have been demonstrated to facilitate the proper folding and solubility of heterologous proteins produced in bacterial host cells.

To minimize proteolysis of expressed heterologous proteins (especially those that are proteolytically sensitive), certain host strains deficient for proteolytic enzymes may be used for the present disclosure. For example, host cell strains may be modified to effect genetic mutation(s) in the genes encoding known bacterial proteases such as Protease III, OmpT, DegP, Tsp, Protease I, Protease Mi, Protease V, Protease VI and combinations thereof. Some E. coli protease-deficient strains are available.

Standard protein purification methods known in the art may be employed. The following procedures are exemplary of suitable purification procedures: fractionation on immunoaffinity or ion-exchange columns, ethanol precipitation, reverse phase HPLC, chromatography on silica or on a cation-exchange resin such as DEAE, chromatofocusing, SDS-PAGE, ammonium sulfate precipitation, hydroxylapatite chromatography, gel electrophoresis, dialysis, and affinity chromatography and gel filtration using, for example, Sephadex G-75.

Immunoglobulin fusion proteins may be concentrated using a commercially available protein concentration filter, for example, an Amicon or Millipore Pellicon® ultrafiltration unit.

Protease inhibitors or protease inhibitor cocktails may be included in any of the foregoing steps to inhibit proteolysis of the immunoglobulin fusion proteins.

In some cases, an immunoglobulin fusion protein may not be biologically active upon isolation. Various methods for “refolding” or converting a polypeptide to its tertiary structure and generating disulfide linkages, may be used to restore biological activity. Such methods include exposing the solubilized polypeptide to a pH usually above 7 and in the presence of a particular concentration of a chaotrope. The selection of chaotrope is very similar to the choices used for inclusion body solubilization, but usually the chaotrope is used at a lower concentration and is not necessarily the same as chaotropes used for the solubilization. In most cases the refolding/oxidation solution will also contain a reducing agent or the reducing agent plus its oxidized form in a specific ratio to generate a particular redox potential allowing for disulfide shuffling to occur in the formation of the protein's cysteine bridge(s). Some of the commonly used redox couples include cysteine/cystamine, glutathione (GSH)/dithiobis GSH, cupric chloride, dithiothreitol(DTT)/dithiane DTT, and 2-mercaptoethanol(bME)/di-thio-b(ME). In many instances, a cosolvent may be used to increase the efficiency of the refolding, and common reagents used for this purpose include glycerol, polyethylene glycol of various molecular weights, arginine and the like.

Compositions described herein may be formulated for controlled or sustained delivery in a manner that provides local concentration of the product (e.g., bolus, depot effect) and/or increased stability or half-life in a particular local environment. The compositions may comprise the formulation of immunoglobulin fusion proteins, polypeptides, nucleic acids, or vectors disclosed herein with particulate preparations of polymeric compounds such as polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, etc., as well as agents such as a biodegradable matrix, injectable microspheres, microcapsular particles, microcapsules, bioerodible particles beads, liposomes, and implantable delivery devices that provide for the controlled or sustained release of the active agent which then may be delivered as a depot injection. Techniques for formulating such sustained- or controlled-delivery means are known and a variety of polymers have been developed and used for the controlled release and delivery of drugs. Such polymers are typically biodegradable and biocompatible. Polymer hydrogels, including those formed by complexation of enantiomeric polymer or polypeptide segments, and hydrogels with temperature or pH sensitive properties, may be desirable for providing drug depot effect because of the mild and aqueous conditions involved in trapping bioactive protein agents. See, for example, the description of controlled release porous polymeric microparticles for the delivery of pharmaceutical compositions in WO 93/15722.

Suitable materials for this purpose include polylactides (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 3,773,919), polymers of poly-(a-hydroxycarboxylic acids), such as poly-D-(−)-3-hydroxybutyric acid (EP 133,988A), copolymers of L-glutamic acid and gamma ethyl-L-glutamate (Sidman et al., Biopolymers, 22: 547-556 (1983)), poly(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate) (Langer et al., J.

USA, 82: 3688-92 (1985)). The carrier itself, or its degradation products, should be nontoxic in the target tissue and should not further aggravate the condition. This may be determined by routine screening in animal models of the target disorder or, if such models are unavailable, in normal animals.

The immunoglobulin fusion proteins disclosed herein may be microencapsulated.
